Driver mistakes are not random and not only based on Risks though higher risks means potentially more DM's. It's mostly based on your driver's skills.

Wasn't answering you either as I clearly stated DM's. Was answering Lee Thomas' post as he was complaining about DM's.

Quote ( Bert Huylebroeck @ November 2nd 2018,21:04:13 ) So furious with my random
In the lead and propably going for the win with only 25CT risk and suddenly out of the race
So random tyre puncture made 2 sponsors mad and said that they weren't happy with my drivers performance (he was LEADING and propably winning before the puncture you dimwits).
Lost 46 motivation while normally I should have won about 30 motivation. 5 sponsor progresses that gets hampered, 50% income because I didn't make 90% of the race. 1-1 in Cup standings, so another random and another huge loss here.
Close to rage-quiting and trowing all data on the internet.
Better sleep about this, because I'm just plain furious now.
Edit: just found out that my suspension got an extra 12% wear so my season plan is also in the bin.
AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

Ok I can understand that. Where it all falls down is that my driver skills have been raised since last season. A season in which I had only two DM's..

Drives ( excuse the pun) me daft when one season I have a couple of DM's, train his skill up more and then suffer 2/3 DM's a race.

Not exclusively and perhaps not at all. It comes down to what risks you have taken this season in comparison to how closely you have been competing with the other managers in the group.
For instance if you last season were usually not close to other drivers any risks pertaining to defending or overtaking would not come into play at all, but as soon as you are in direct competition on the track to defend or overtake those risks can generate DM's.
Among other things.

No change. I can see the points you are trying to pose. But the risks have not changed and the driver stats have gone up. And I'm still in the same pack near the drop as I was last season. All the DM's are t*t twisters when I see it happening every race lol

to me it is ridicolous to give a person a random after his 2nd race (new to the game) already and ruining his entire race strategy (a 3 stop becomes a 14 stop)
this will make players leave the game or not willing to spend money for GPRO Supports

Can agree fully with that Patrick.

Knowing how the game works is part of mastering the game. Getting to know how it works is partly by making mistakes in the game. Not planning for contingencies is one such.
I imagine you set to refuel when pitting extra for a technical problem as well as having set a low amount as a contingency in case of fuel not lasting the laps you planned for (like setting 10l after stop 3).
That makes you use up your planned pitstop fuel on stop 2 (for instance, don't know if that was your extra stop for technical or not) and end up refuelling to 10 litres over and over, of course only managing a few laps at a time each stint.
It's actually a preferred method for some when attempting to drop motivation, though then it's deliberately set.
Now taht you know taht can happen on an unscheduled stop you either set it to not refuel on a technical, or set it to refuel but don't have a 10 or so litre stop at the end at all.

Just had my 2nd random in 4 races, the other 15-20 players in my group have had a total of 1 in the entire 10 race season so far.
If this game isn't meant to represent real life racing then why put randoms in? What do they do other than annoy and turn away players? If this is a strategy game why include something that is fully down to luck and can change the course of someones season so much?

Then they wonder why people rage quit.
There are simply too many.

tough luck mate,
i do agree ... too many randoms
i still have not recovered from my random in R8 (motivation on a low) can S68 start friday???
|
|
|

Yeah,
G/Box used more than predicted race wear in 15/79 laps.
So I smoked from there to the end.
I mean so much for good planning.
Might as well not bother 😯
Anyway should recover OK.
Just bloody frustrating

I've just had two in the last two races. Annoying definitely, but it is what it is. Things even themselves out in the end.

If we accept that we must get 1 random per season, then getting one in a race that was already a throw-away and in which it only costs you 2 places at the chequered flag is excellent timing. Thank you GPRO! :)

Can I complain on somebody elses behalf, Kaasik set for promotion (P22) going into the last lap only to 'suffers a tyre puncture and is sadly unable to continue the race'. The dropped points mean he lost his promotion spot by a point and to add salt to the wounds he has racked up 80 points so is sitting second in the additional promotion spots with only the one available.
I can take a random now and then, but the timing of that one would make me consider if the game was really worth playing.

press f to pay respects - that's just plain unfortunate. But hey, at least it wasn't on your best performing track. Other than that, allow me to pass you salt indeed.
